Ok, so here we go.
Story. The storyline was pretty decent, but I sort of felt like I got the grasp of how it was going to go along when I read the summary. Ngl I skipped over a lot of stuff when the frame didn't have the leads in them and honestly I still got through the whole drama understanding what was happening. The storyline wasn't surprising or anything, it didn't have a surprise pop, in the end, the whole storyline was easily predicted just through watching the teasers for upcoming episodes. Honestly, he was looking for his grandpa and his grandpa only showed up for like a few minutes. Bruh.
Acting/Cast. Most of the actors and actresses aren't the ones you would usually recognize once you saw them and I understand they are pretty new. The male lead. This was FCC's first drama, but it wasn't as bad as I thought and it was nowhere awkward. Personally, I believe he did his best and he carried the character well, but the only thing I found awkward was the way he hugged the female lead, it wasn't sweet and it didn't give me that sweet emotion. I guess it's the actor and actresses chemistry or whatever, feel free to comment on that.
The female lead. This is CX's second drama and honestly, I felt like her first drama was better. I completely understand that her character had a calm and cold demeanor, but I felt like she didn't express that really well. I hate to, say this, but some of her expressions were repetitive, there are many other female characters who probably have the same personality as she does, but it just wasn't portrayed that well here. In addition, her character was very still and it made her look really awkward at times. Maybe this character just doesn't suit CX? Idk man.
Second female lead. I'm not going to lie I stopped paying attention to her mid-series, but her acting was really good. She portrayed the hate and ruthlessness of the character really well. I'm pretty sure the actress is pretty young in their 20s? Her drama costume did nothing to touch up her looks, instead, it made her look older and not the mature kind of old.
The main bad character. Gao Yu? He was only seen in the beginning few and his character just disappeared and came back, got defeated or whatever and that's it. Basically, this drama is like a discovery drama, in the end, there was no big evil character he had to face off or something.
Music. The music was good. The music was sung by the leads and as idols/singers, they're not bad. I love the feeling the song gave. It's very calm and pleasant.
Rewatch value. Honestly, I, myself probably won't rewatch this and tbh if I didn't watch this because of FCC and CX and I came across it, I probably wouldn't have been interested at all. Sorry, not sorry.
Overall. I mean you can try it.
Note. In addition, I am not going to lie, but the plot is pretty similar to Legend of Awakening, where the male lead is out looking for their birthright or powers or whatever and they come across many help and friends along the way. Basically, the drama is focused on the male lead's search and growth, so don't expect some sweet and romantic storyline.

This whole entire drama was problematic. I don't even know where to start. Can't explain my frustration.
Story. Well. . .No comment.
Acting/Cast. It just wasn't par to my expectations. Either that or cutesy stuff really isn't my thing. It wasn't that great of a chemistry and their chemistry just seems stiff. Honestly, I didn't love the characters either.
Music. I liked certain tracks.
Rewatch value. I personally, would not rewatch it, I couldn't even get through most of the show without skipping most of it.
Overall. I do not recommend it, but whatever floats your boat.

Ok so here we go.
Story. The storyline was absolutely heart-warming. It was comedic, heart touching, and heartbreaking all at once. The storyline wasn't messy and confusing. It's like a story and the main lead is telling it. Personally, I enjoyed the storyline. Although, personally, I, myself, who watches tons of movie, I was able to anticipate the ending based on the characters. SPOILERS. It's similar to The Fault in Our Stars, where terminal patients have lost the will to live until they meet an optimistic person, who brings them the will to live, but we don't find out till the end, that they are having it worse. Basically, I anticipated that the female lead would have left at the end, due to her optimism and the hope she brought. For me, the twist was easily guessed, so it did get a little boring for me at the end, but nevertheless, I loved the storyline.

Acting/Cast. Male Lead. Basically, I watched this for YYQX, and he's continued to prove himself well. He played the negativity and loss of hope of the character really well. The way he believes he going to die anyway and his one-sided perspective of his illness. I personally believed QX carried this character really well.
The female lead. I heard the actress is a new actress? I think she did pretty well, I couldn't tell, but I'm not a professional critic either. She held the character well and she portrayed it really well. Her optimism and strong-willed-ness?

Music. Well Idk, but there was no music until the end, but it's not bad. It ain't about the music. lol.

Rewatch Value. I definitely would rewatch this. This is like a family movie, there's comedy, heart-breaking moments, support, and growth. Definitely gave me a good cry. lol.

Overall. Bc, I was able to anticipate it, it isn't that high. Lol, sorry not sorry.
Honestly, this is poorly reviewed, bc it's hard to explain without telling the whole damn movie.

Ok so. The storyline was nice and sweet, not weird nor unkept, basically, it flowed well. It's a soft and simple plot and it reminded me of the drama, 时光与你都很甜 Beautiful Time With you. Both have very intelligent male leads, striving and hard-working female leads, and coincidentally they're deskmates. Personally, I despise romance dramas with a passion for their typical storyline and hardcore antagonist, who will literally go to the depths of the world just to try to be with a guy. Soft romances are an exception.
The cast/acting was okay. I wasn't cringing or exactly displeased. I believe for XMJ, she's a rookie actress? Her portrayal of the character wasn't terrible, but I'm not sure, it wasn't perfect. I didn't hate it. I found her character cute. CZY, I've watched some of his works before and his acting is obviously fairly better, being an actor. I enjoyed his character and his portrayal.
Music. I don't think I listened to it very deeply, but it was okay. I liked it. It was sweet.
Rewatch value. I would probably rewatch once or twice if I wasn't to feel bubbly inside. It was warming.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I binged watched it so, yeah.
